Falling in Love Again
Ruthie Henshall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
I can't help it
Love's always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way
Men cluster to me
Like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn
I know I'm not to blame
Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
I just can't help it
Men cluster to me
Like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn
I know I'm not to blame
Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
I just can't help it
In Ruthie Henshall’s “Falling in Love Again,” the artist reflects on the inevitability of falling in love despite not wanting to. She starts the song off with the repetition of the lyrics, “Falling in love again, never wanted to, what am I to do? I can't help it.” Here, Henshall reminds us that love is not something that can be controlled and often catches people by surprise regardless of whether they are seeking it out. She acknowledges her own predisposition towards love, with the line, “Love's always been my game, play it how I may, I was made that way, I can't help it.” This statement suggests an underlying sense of acceptance towards her romantic inclinations, as if they are an integral part of her identity.
